English has a hard enough time being exact as it is, so I do agree with your statement.

I doubt it is the fact they are corrected(using my perspective as I do not know this person), rather HOW they are corrected. Sometimes I see someone correct another using good natured wit and humour, being polite, and the target of said criticism takes it well and learns, other times they are quite unfriendly and harsh. I don’t mind correction that is polite, I will absolutely ignore the advice if rendered harshly and condescendingly.

This goes for other situations as well, not gonna go into them as several are landmines, but the approach to correction needs to be more friendly than aggressive.
